Dasylirion texanum

Green Desert Spoon (Texas Sotol)

Like its cousins, the Green Desert Spoon is long-lived and low-maintenance. It grows slowly to form a dense rosette of green spiky foliage, making it an ideal accent or barrier plant. Over time, it develops a stout, short trunk. Mature plants shoot up large flower spikes.

  • Provides winter interest
  • Spectacular, 9-15' tall flower stalks in mid-summer
